逃跑的人 在九槍 上映前,台灣就有移工的紀錄片,以各方移工的故事撐這部紀錄片,表現移工身為人的面相,跟我們一樣是人,在在台灣遇到一堆無奈的社會問題,只是可惜觀點過度單一,如果這方面有一起做的話就太好了‧
《逃跑的人》跟拍八年紀錄了「逃跑的」移工草雲與維興的生活,是這次「再見真實獎」入圍片中最震撼我的作品。與 2019 年《阿紫》關於新住民女性嫁入台灣家庭的紀錄片不同,《阿紫》選擇了巧妙平衡於主角、夫家、越南老家等觀點和張力,而《逃跑的人》卻是深入「非法移工」此一視角,幾乎讓政策面、政府面的描寫缺席,但也因此微妙地呈現拍攝者/觀者與被攝群體越接近,越必須「旁觀他人痛苦」之不適。 換句話說,當《逃跑的人》越要拍出他們的日常一面,或說那些促成生命行動、實現自我價值的積極面向,越反映一個更大的基底:「沒有選擇」。正是紀錄片本身不以獵奇為目的,所以無論在縱長的日子好壞波動──那些糟糕的境遇,包括工傷的殘肢──,或是在橫切面的──越接近被攝對象,越無法完全同理的陌異,「我們永遠都無法感受到的慘事」──都有著比獵奇更深層的不適感。可以說,《逃跑的人》擊中我的核心在於:「沒有選擇」就是最令人不適的痛苦。 以草雲為例,看起來在台灣的生活,她有自己的舞台,還有同儕、後輩的社群連結,但在片中,也傳達出這些根本無法構成一個夠強的信念,或是無法構成一個堪當「選擇性」的東西,壓倒性的是台灣與母國的工資比,令她離開兒女,離開合法身分。不是這些東西留下她,而是她有這樣韌性的特質,就算她是「沒有選擇的」,還是會有這樣的表現。為什麼離鄉背井?為何能不被疾病擊倒?當越是深入看待「沒有選擇」這件事,我們隨著導演從略有所知,到稍能同理,最後卻是要承認:我們很難理解「沒有選擇」這件事,所以才令人不適。《逃跑的人》也因此克制而動人地再現了拍攝者與被攝群體、人與他人弔詭的親與疏漸層。

Nearly one quarter of Canada’s population was born outside the country. Every path that leads someone here is far more than a straight line between two points. These paths may differ greatly, yet they resonate with one another. Centred on diaspora communities, this film series hopes to explore, through these works, the long negotiation with memory, language, identity, and belonging that people face after crossing national borders. Along these winding paths of migration, we are invited to rethink what home means. Equally important, we are invited to consider how we might better understand one another. Special thanks to our film selectors: Helena WU (Assistant Professor, UBC Asian Studies), Charlie SMITH (Editor, Pancouver), and becky (TAIWANfest team).
As long as the camera is running, recording begins from the very first moment. This act of recording is the source of vitality for images and film. In this era, images aren't exclusive to cinema; they are also a vessel for art, belonging to every possibility.

Does our nation's treatment of minority groups truly live up to the beautiful name "Formosa"? Migrant workers who perish far from home, fishermen and sex workers on the fringes of the city… they leave their homes behind to make a living, only to face discrimination, exhaustion, and even restrictive, unequal laws. On one side lies a struggling homeland, on the other, a new land that offers no refuge—where, then, do outsiders truly belong?

How can we remember the pain and resistance, helplessness and belief, hatred and love we once experienced in the dark of night? Night serves as a metaphor and a space for inheriting historical secrets. People act in secret during the night, hoping to open their minds and initiate new possibilities before dawn breaks. The 2023 Autumn Festival, themed "Nights in Memory," invites artists to collectively confront the echoes and inspirations brought by every night in memory. Memories purged, replaced, hidden, and questioned in those dark nights are re-told through the transformation of creative language, bringing to light overlooked, concealed, or ambiguous stories, igniting the fire of memory in the darkness. The National Theater & Concert Hall, in collaboration with Giloo, has curated the "2023 Autumn Festival" online film exhibition. Through the vertical in-depth exploration of theater and the horizontal extension of cinema, we will have the opportunity to transcend divisions and discern the significance of the nights we have experienced in our lives.
